With a large family there weren’t many options. This was the best option.

Honest question -- why not get a used vehicle that didn't have that nonsense in it?

[-] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Because used was as much as new monthly. The market is upside down and down right stupid.

[-] drislands@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Fair enough. Thanks for answering.

But wait, what features are actually behind the subscription wall? Your other comment mentions the climate system and… door locking? You can’t be serious…

[-] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Systems monitoring and I wouldn’t call it remote start because it’s a PHEV but they do. And yes, I’m serious. It’s a ridiculously overpriced service. Thank god they didn’t lock down the heated seats.

WHOOOSH. Seriously dude you're just preaching the ideal while making exceptions for yourself.

Same exact shit as 'my abortion is the only moral abortion', NIMBY, "I'm not a bad driver I just had the sun in my eyes/they came out of nowhere!"

It's fine and human nature to make exceptions for ourselves. But it's important to try to catch yourself, if so at the very least you don't look like an asshole on the internet.

I get it. What I’m saying is that they’re all doing this. You have to pick the least bad option.

Update I wouldn’t have even bothered replying if I had seen the god awful reply you added.

But that's not what you said. You preach vote with your wallet and that there weren't many options.

And is pre owned not an option? I get it we aren't all able to be perfect but it's wild to be so hypocritical in one conversation.
